Chapter 1098 Place all eggs in one basket
Though he was a bit scared. Master Pei was not willing to give up which was why he nodded and then continued with his pretence of knowing more than Ji Ziyi and Cai Wu. He nodded his head and very solemnly said, " Though these talismans can fend off the ghost they cannot exorcise them nor can they hold on for a long time. They are just temporary measures but mine are better when it comes to fending off ghosts they are much stronger than these flimsy talismans."
Ji Ziyi was even more annoyed when she heard the words of the celestial master. She was sure that Song Yan was trying to find trouble with her which was why she deliberately caused trouble for her by handing her these weak talismans.
Before she only had doubts but now Ji Ziyi was sure that Song woman was waiting for her to make a joke out of herself, like hell she was going to give that woman a chance to laugh at her! It was never going to happen and what did she say? That she was waiting for her to beg in front of her? That was impossible, she, the young mistress of the Ji family was never going to do that!
Although Cai Wu was also convinced that Master Pei was skilled she did not want to put all the eggs in one basket but before she could say anything Ji Ziyi who had lost her head jumped off her bed and threw the talismans out of the window. When Cai Wu saw that Ji Ziyi threw the talismans, she wanted to tell her off but before she could say anything she was stopped by Ji Ziyi.
For the past few days, Ji Ziyi had not been able to sleep properly thus her anger was about to reach its peak and now that she knew that these talismans were handed to her as a joke, she was even more angry. She looked at Cai Wu and then said impatiently, " I know what I am doing sister Cai. That woman wants to make fun of me, did you not hear what Master Pei said? She could have given me some stronger talismans but she did not, so why should I hang onto her talismans? It's better if I let go of it and buy someone else's. Anyway, I have enough money to hire a decent and skilled celestial master. As for the money that she had taken, I will make her cough everything out once my brothers return."
Ji Ziyi added ruthlessly before turning to look at Master Pei. She said, " Master Pei, hand me the talismans that you own. I will buy everything."
How could Master Pei refuse such a good business? He immediately took out a bunch of talismans and then said to Ji Ziyi, " These are a total of forty talismans and each one of them costs around 200,000. These are all high-grade talismans and take a lot of time to draw, I will sell you all of these for eight million yuan."
Eight million was like pennies to Ji Ziyi. She did not even think twice before she transferred the money to Master Pei.
Cai Wu looked at Ji Ziyi acting rashly and could not help but pursed her lips. She felt that Ji Ziyi was being a bit too impulsive but what she could do? This money did not belong to her and she could not tell Ji Ziyi when to spend it and when not to.
After Master Pei took the eight million yuan from Ji Ziyi, he was naturally even more solicitous towards her. In his mind he was ready to drag the knife slowly on Ji Ziyi's neck rather than killing her at once, it would be such a shame if he did not earn a grand sum from this fat sheep that had fallen in his hands.
He not only asked for the high-ranking ingredients but he also asked for an additional fee of fifty million yuan. The more he opened his mouth the higher the expense became seeing this Ji Ziyi could not help but wonder if she met with a swindler.
However, she did not get a chance to put her doubts in words as Master Pei had already set an altar on the floor of the ward. He was holding a wand in his hand and was dancing around the altar causing Ji Ziyi to purse her lips even more firmly. Though she was feeling unconvinced her suspicions vanished when she saw the altar turn black and the peach wood sword turn glowing red.
In the VIP ward, hours passed by and soon it was five minutes past midnight. Ji Ziyi had watched the celestial master chant incantations for the entire day and was getting sleepy, she was tired and annoyed by the actions of the master but when she thought about how she needed his help to suppress the malicious spirit, she could only calm down.
Her eyes were filled with anger and annoyance as she turned to look at Cai Wu who in turn looked at her and then said, " Ziyi, I really need to go now. My daughter is still sick and she is calling me to come back. The babysitter cannot stay anymore either."
" Then you can leave, Sister Cai," Ji Ziyi did not want to listen to the sick daughter of her servant. Why would she care if that girl was sick? So she dismissed Ji Ziyi unless the latter continued to chatter in her ear. What was more she had someone else with her in the ward and no longer needed to worry about the ghosts, more importantly, her company was a celestial master!
Cai Wu saw that Ji Ziyi was not looking good, so she left without disturbing Master Pei.
Ji Ziyi watched the master taking care of the malicious ghost and did not care about Cai Wu, however as the clock ticked past twelve in the midnight and slowly moved to three o clock in the morning Ji Ziyi could not help but feel inexplicably uneasy. She glanced around the room anxiously before pushing herself off the bed and limping off to the restroom, all of this nervousness was causing her to feel icky!
